Hello to all the new beans! Most of you know me through other platforms but for those who are new:
Hi, I'm poi and a mainly traditional artist who loves to talk about art supplies, mediums and pigments!

I simply love to paint. 💚
It is the second month that I do not cry when I open my bank account.
Though I still can't quite believe it, I'm still waiting for another desaster around the corner bc I'm so used to be on the edge, alerted and tense. :')

Glazing in watercolour is time-consuming. Though that's perhaps a redundant explanation, given that everything is time-consuming when I attempt it. 😮‍💨🙁😑

When I pick my fic back up I'm probably gonna land on a ao3 authors note compilation like
Hi I lost my job, had a car accident, my uncle got beaten so bad he's been hospitalised and I was on the brink of financial ruin
Anyways here's a new chapter

Or sth like that

"From the soil, ...to the soil." | 🥀

This time the yearly 'Poppies of the Great War' piece is dedicated to the nature's cycle and the fading beauty of it. As well as the soil which welcomed all those who have fallen, to let them bloom again someday at least for a short time.

Nervousness is starting to spike in me as it's the second time I lie awake until 3 am, but I got this.
I keep telling myself that I got this.

Let's take the edge off, shouldn't we?

(I just love Eli very much)

"I don't mind being alone, that's true."

"It is also true that I don't mind crowds, for a time at least." Elias placed their palms on their thighs, stretching the fabric of their pants. How fascinating it felt when it moved over their skin, distracting them shortly.

Did a little doodle in my sketchbook at work and it's Eli and their (grand)mother-figure/caretaker where they grew up. They call her Babcia and she's very small (152 cm).
She refers to Elis appearance when she calls them star-crossed or child of night, and also comments to their affinity of birds.

How do you enforce boundaries with people who ignore said boundaries.

Just a little trivia about Eli.

They always sleep balled up (sometimes squeezing their friends in).
It's a habit from sleeping outside most of the time, and makes them feel at ease.

I still find it extremely weird that people feed their superiority complex with my life and then get mad when I succeed in sth finding it.... Unfair?

Little book haul 😊 (I'm buying such titles mostly second hand or as faulty books so they're heavily discounted bc lately, the prices for new hardcover titles scare me.)

My brother remembered today I existed. Just told me it's good that I feel better again and that he's gonna be at a few Halloween Parties today.

O...ok? I guess....
